Abstract
Summary: Background: Non-sputum-based tuberculosis tests are a global priority because sputum-dependent diagnostics systematically miss populations at highest risk of disease, including people living with HIV. We evaluated the diagnostic accuracy of a next-generation urine lipoarabinomannan assay.
